Dear Ladies, here is a section in which you can post looks, collages, artwork, etc. regarding social issues or global matters of the world around us. Some examples: environmental issues, social conflicts, victims of violence, gender issues, women who have made a difference, etc. This is not a contest so there will be no winners, it is just a place to share your ideas in the forms of images.

Your submissions can relate to various international days proclaimed by the UN or other organisations, or just whatever you feel is important and would like to make others aware of.

There are no restrictions concerning the medium of the images posted. You can equally use your Lady, clothes and accessories in LP Fashion Arena (alone or placed within a collage), as well as post any artwork (drawings, graphics, collages, etc.) made by you manually or online.

You are encouraged to give a description along with your image, to make others see what your artwork relates to. You can post more than one image but if possible, do not post more than 5 within a single post.

While most countries today enact anti-discrimination laws, there are still various subtle forms of discrimination. This can happen based on gender, ethnicity, religion. social class, possible disability, etc. One example is when you are called to a job interview based on your written application but when you show up the next day, you are suddenly told that the position is filled. If this happens repeatedly, you may suspect discrimination. When at work or at school, you may be treated as having weaker abilities or you feel people shying away from you with no apparent reason. Even in the street, you can be treated as suspect just because of your skin colour or the language you speak, or both. Sooner or later this will create an inferiority complex and a questioning of self-worth.

While anti-discrimination legislation is necessary to alleviate open discrimination, the only real way of eliminating it is building a culture in which an individuals's worth is not perceived as depending on gender, ethnicity or other factors one is born with and cannot change. It is best to help building such an attitude already in childhood, by means of integrated education. The attitudes leading to discrimination can only be changed step by step, but there has been a lot of change happening during the past decades already.
